Reagan celebrated Valentine's Day this year All. Day. Long! She woke up that morning, and asked me to help fix her hair for her big day. It took just over an hour to accomplish, but her head full of topsy-turvy tails was a masterpiece if I do say so myself. Once she was dressed and ready, it was time to go to preschool for an extra special day of celebrating. You may remember that Reagan participated in a Dance-A-Thon last year at preschool, and the same big event fell on February 14th this year. Her preschool strongly enforces the phrase, "Give to a child and you change their life. Teach a child to give, and they will change the world." The boys and girls put that phrase into action (literally) as they raised money by jumping, jiving, grooving, and moving throughout the entire class!

Be sure to notice Reagan's super cool hair-do in the pictures above! And you can't help but to notice that adorable face as she poses with one of her teachers and a couple of her best-buddies below...

Later that evening, her Daddy spoiled me with a big box of chocolates and then we spoiled the kids with personalized puppy sleeping bags from Pottery Barn Kids. Trust me when I tell you that Pottery Barn Kids has become my new favorite store and that Ryan is afraid that he is NEVER going to be able to retire because of it!

First and foremost, let me make it clear that I AM NOT A DOCTOR! However, I may as well be one. My daughter calls me Doctor Mommy, my nephew will not allow anyone but me to remove slivers/splinters from his hands, and my husband calls me the family pharmacist. So when I decided to make some changes to our family blog, Paging Doctor Mommy seemed like the perfect fit! And we’ve certainly had our fair share of medical dramas around here. Reagan was hospitalized with RSV for 17 days, she suffered severe second and third degree burns to the bottom of her feet, and she received 8 stitches above her left eye all before she was even two years old. And let’s not forget that my husband had to have three back surgeries (only one of which was planned) in less than three months!
Besides playing Doctor, I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, and a sister. I am a Carolina Girl who is living in a Canadian world. I am a full time stay-at-home mom and a part time wedding planner/bridal assistant. I am addicted to Starbucks coffee, I count Weight Watchers points like a crazed lunatic, I love to read, I love to run, I love the beach, and I crave the sun.
